Imaam al-Shaafi’i Rahimahullaah said: ‘There is nobody except that he has someone who loves him and someone who hates him. So if that’s the case, let a person be with the people who are obedient to Allaah `Azza Wa Jall.’

The Successful One.

Assalam alaikum,The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:--

"He is successful who has accepted Islam, who has been provided with sufficient for his wants and been made contented by Allah with what He has given him" (Muslim)

These days when people say so and so is very successful, what they mean is he is making a lot of money. By this noble Hadith, we understand who qualifies to be called successful. It is not having car x, house in y and a job z but:---Islam, Needs fulfilled and Possession of a thankful heart. We should,therefore, NOTE this accordingly. Regards.
